The two were separate things. He was a great goal-scorer. One of the best ever. Still is.

Not to some people, and those are the people I'm talking about. The ones that said he couldn't be in the conversation as one of the greatest players in the history of the sport because he hadn't won a Cup, as if that is somehow a qualifying factor in the topic.

Nobody would say Ray Bourque isn't one of the best of all time if he didn't win the Cup in 2001, but people would have said it about Ovechkin. I don't know what it is, but some people just seem to invite more negative criticism than others.

Yeah, I've never been that kind of person, not for team sports.

I don't know about the first part. I think some people still would have.

People still say it about Dan Marino, after all, no?

True. I should know better than to use absolutes.

Yeah. That's pretty weird.

Both are pretty solid players. It's almost always a bad thing when the wife/girlfriends end up making big news.

I’m trying to reserve judgement until some real facts come out.  

But if this story turns out to be true, what a train wreck Ottawa is going to be.  From their goofball owner to this, I’d hate to be a supporter of the Sens right now.

I thought he died or something?

Nope.  You’re thinking of Bryan Murray, who was their GM until his passing last year or the year before that.

Yes, that's it. Melnyk has been the subject of the "Get Melnyk Out" billboard campaigns in Ottawa lately.

Thank you @Warren Zevon.

    • Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.  
    • Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.
    • Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
    • I have access to far more data (including surveys and polls) than you do with your anecdotes. I mean this as plainly and literally as possible: you’ve demonstrated that you do not. They would, one way or the other.
    • Yes, but you don't live in the UK, so you have no idea what we think about it here. It's a very different mindset here, to demonstrate the fact you should consider 9 out of 10 games we play here are Stableford, whereas you you almost solely play medal. Neither is right or wrong, it's just different  I'm trying to avoid swearing here. Once again, and for the 1000th time, I understand the system, I just don't agree with it. Is there anything wrong with that? PS, I do not have the time or patience to post my results, especially as they prove nothing  That's because 99% of the posters are Yanks
